Add-ons & Apps for Google at U-M

ITS and Google only support the official mobile apps offered by Google for use with U-M Google accounts. ITS does not provide end-user support for third-party add-ons and apps other than to ensure they are available for use at U-M.

Third-party add-ons may display advertisements, require additional terms of service agreements, have a separate privacy policy, or retain your information. For these reasons, most add-ons in the Google Workspace Marketplace are currently deactivated for the University of Michigan domain, with a few exceptions below. (Refer to Add-ins, Add-ons & Apps for Collaboration Services for more information on third-party apps within ITS-managed services.)

Add-ons Available in U-M Google

The following add-ons are available in U-M Google. Their vendors provide support for the apps below.

Accessibility

The Grackle add-ons automatically check your Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides against accessibility standards and provide step-by-step guidance to ensure compliance and clarity for everyone.

The U-M AI Alt Text for Google add-on helps content creators generate suggested alternative text for images within Google Docs and Google Slides. This add-on is only installable by faculty, staff (regular and temporary), and students with U-M Google accounts. For more information on installing and using it, refer to Install and Use AI Alt Text for Google Add-On.

Note: Google Voice is not a core app and is not available in U-M Google or supported at U-M.

Add-ons vs. Extensions

An extension is something you add to your web browser to customize your browsing experience (e.g., Google Chrome). An add-on is something you add directly to a product, like Google Docs, Forms, or Mail, to extend its capabilities and functionality. Extensions don't need approval for use in U-M Google, whereas add-ons do. However, the same third-party warnings apply to extensions as they do to add-ons, and caution should be used when installing these within your browser.
